iptables: forwarding a port

I've been googling for a while now, trying to forward port 3000 to port 80....

In the past I used to DLink router to forward port 3000 to 80. I recently finished (well, is it ever done anyhow?) setting up my linux box and got it acting as a router.

I want to continue to run Apache on port 80 because it is easier for me to just type in http://localhost/ to test stuff locally.

Having only one box running linux it is doing everything. Router, web server, file server, etc, etc... All the tutorials I came across show how to forward and ip to a separate ip address. I've tried using the same commands (I've done this before once where my Windows box was running the web server... it forwarded just fine) with the correct interfaces, ip addresses and ports...

So again, here is what I need to do.

Internet
\/
eth0/external_ip (Port 3000)
\/
eth1/192.168.1.1 (Port 80)

Thanks in advance ;]

I found out that I could have Apache listen on multiple ports so my problem is technically solved.

I'm still interest to find a solution to this past problem using iptables though, never know what software won't listen on multiple ports in the future.

Thanks
